PREFACK.
Literature is generally an index of the life of a nation. Every important act of a national life is. faithfully represented in literature. Ancient Indians were very fond of manly sports ; and Sanskrit literature is full, of the stories of Mrgaya. [४18 no wonder, therefore, that hawk- ing should@-have engaged the attention of Indian writers The work now presented with an English translation to the public, is a book on hawking in Sanskrit by Rudradeva (or (andradeva or Rudracandra Deva as the MS. C calls him), a Raja of*Kirmacala or Kumaon. The Royal author is systematic in his treatment of the subject. No- where does he indulge in theories. His book is thoroughly practical.
The first chapter is devoted to the defence of what Panditas would call “ vices’; and the defence is eminently pragtical. These should be indulged in for the enjoyment of life. But none should be wholly given up to them. In the second chapter these “‘viées’’ are enumerated and defined. “The last of the vices is बमा or hunting. In the third chapter various kinds of hunting are enumerated and * defined, the last of which is शेनपाता or hawking. In the fourth chapter various kinds of hawks are enumerated and described. Their training and their capacity for hunting birds and beasts are also described there in great detail. ‘Khe fifth chapter is devoted to the kind and quantity of their food, their tending in different seasons, and the treat- ment of their diseases. In thé sixth, various methods of sport with these birds are described ; and, in accdrdance with the time-honoured custom of Indian Panditas, the enjoyment of the eight different Rasas or emotions can be derived from the sport of hawking. In the seventh are the

It is difficult to find when Rudradeva flourished. The same Rudradeva of Kumaon has a Smrti compilation, written in the same style and in the same methodical way. In the Syainika Sastra he uses many words that are of Turkish or Persian origin. That is no proof of date. For it ig known for certain that Indians had connections with Turks from very remote antiquity. In a work written by the Kashmirian poet Damodara, the Turkish leather-shoes are described as much in vogue at Benares in the ninth century. In the inscriptions of Govindacandra of Kanauj, the trade in Turkish articles is discouraged by imposing a high tariff on them. The Turks came in and settled in India by hundreds after the eruption of Jengis Khan into their country in the thirteenth century. So the ॥ € of Turkish words is no criterion to fix the date. The absence of any mention of guns and gunpowder shows that the book was written when gunpowder was not known in India, that is. at least three hundred vears ago. The fact that this Raja wrote a Nibandha shows that he did not belong to the Hindu bit to the Mahommedan period of the Indian History. For the Nibandhas began (५ be writ- ten only after the Mahommedans had set their foot in India. Nor could he have written the book in the first century of the Mahommedan conquest. For, we know from the Gaya and Buddha (aya inscriptions that the kings of Kumaéon of that century were Buddhists. ‘The composition of the book, therefore, would range from between the thirteenth to the sixteenth century of the Christian erat This period*may be still more contracted by the fact that Rudradeva in his Smrti work, entitled जेव णिकधोनिणंय . quotes from Kullika Bhatta who flourished about the middle of the fifteenth éentury. Rudradeva, therefore, must come after him.
PREFACE. il । ,
I have gratefully to acknowlestge the assistance and encouragement which I have always received from Lieuten- ant-Colonel D. C. Phillott. A good falconer himself, he has written many treatises on hawking, and without his help I could not have translated the book in the technical style in which it now appears.
In the preparation of this edition three MSS. have been used. * The first is a MS. acquired for the Asiatic Society of Bengal, but not yet registered. The first and the last leaf of fhis are missing. This has been called A. [t has a peculiar way of correcting mistakes. They are corrected in the next line to that in which they occur, just below where the mistakes are. They are separated from the second line by a rude sort of bracket. This MS. is generally correct. ‘The second MS. B has not yet been permanently acquired. I[t has the beginnifg and the end, but some leaves are missing in the middle. The paper is very thin and the writing bad. But it is generally correct. The third MS. called C is No. 8245 of the Government collection. = [४ has the first leaf restored, and it ends abruptly in the middle of the sixth chapter A commentary has also been agquired, No. 8244 of the Nocicty’s collection. It is called wifaameefa:. [४15 writ- ten in the same hand as B. It is very nearly complete.
»[t deals more with rhetorical discussion than with the technical terms of hawking. Some use has been made of the commentary in the translation.

THE ART OF HAWKING.
_
CHAPTER IT.
T bow to the spirit of Garuda, who for the good of the three worlds, is a great friend of Visnu in his wars and a rival of Indra.
2. {8 not love experienced by those who are ignorant of, the science of Erotics? Still the sages have written on the science for its thorough realization.
3. In the same manner, though the delights of hunt- ing are well known even to men of no intelligence, still hunting affords peculiar delight to the mind of one who knows the science of hawking.
1 Therefore, to heighten that delight, | feel the necessity of writing the science of hunting sometimes in detail and sometimes in brief.
5. Who can fully enumerate all the sports which the Creator of the Universe has designed for the entertainment of the human mind, and for the enjoyment of the fruits of their previous works ?
"6. Among these, eighteen things are mentioned which are known as vyasana (addictions or vices), and without these the senses are useless, and these eighteen are the real causes of exquisite delight.
® 7. If practised in proper season and within proper bounds, they contribute largely to the delight of all per- sons, especially of kings. 1
8. The writers of the Sastras always deprecate these vyasanas, and stories are current of the fall of those who were addicted to thent.
2
9. If women, with languishing eyes beaming with love, are to be altogether avoided, the birth of a son, who delivers his father from the hell named Put, becomes im- possible.
10, 1f hunting is to be altogether prohibited, how can meat, skin, horn and other articles prescribed for sacrifices be obtained ?
11, Similarly, by sleeping in the day time, the cor- poreal body, which is the means for attaining the three great objects of life, is preserved from such diseases as in- digestion, and so on.
12. The conclusion, therefore, is that addiction to these vices is to be avoided by all means, because the Lord has said that addiction to these leads to bondage.
13, The avoidance of all sorts of activities leads only to the liberation of the soul. But the performance of the duties prescribed for one’s own caste, leads to the attain- ment of the three other objects of life.
14. That sort of avoidance, however, should be practised with respect to speech and the actions of the body and the mind, which leads to Brahma beyond the reach of speech.
15. Lf one’s merit is so great that one can aim at the attainment of the highest.object of desire, one should give up all activities and practise complete renouncement.
16. It is known from the Sastras that even the enjoyment of the fruits of action causes annihilation of the fruits of activity, as in the case of the wise Saubhari, who enjoyed the objects of his senses for the release from bondage.
17, Moreover, charming couplets are often heard chanted by the Manes for the welfare of Ruci, who was for renouncing the world :—
18, ‘‘O darling, man’s karma accumulated in previ- ous existences, that is, his merits und demerits, wears away
3
day and night by his ‘ enjoyments,’ that is, his experiences of the joys and sorrows of life
19. “^ Therefogy you, who know what dharma is, will attain peace when your karma wears away.”’
The words of the Lord to Arjuna were also to this effect -—
20. `^ Therefore go on with your work, for activity is better than inactivity. If you are wanting in activity, you will hardly be able to secure wherewith to keep your body and soul together.”’
21. In other Sastras, too, many precepts of wise men are heard which stimulate activity in those who conduct tHemselves properly in this world.
22. Even a householder, who honestly earns his liveli- hood, and strives after the knowledge of truth, and honours his guests, and offers oblations to the Manes, and tells the truth, attains liberation.
23. From these and other Vedic precepts, it appears desirable to enjoy the present fruits of previous actions, the enjoyment being, however, without too much attachment.
24 It is known from the Sastras that King Janaka, who was devoted to the interests of his subjects, attained liberation while enjoying the pleasures of life, and this was so, from his non-attachment to them.
+ 25, There is another way, charming in itself, for the attainment of the highest bliss. Heaven is easily attained by the performance of duties prescribed for one’s caste.
26. So one should devote himself to karma leading to heaven, to fame, and to longevity. The conclusion of the Vedas is summed up in these words, ‘‘ Continually doing work, etc
27. Prosperity is attained by meritorious deeds, and it is desired for the enjoyment of the objects of the senses ; that enjoyment again is connected somehow or other with the eighteen kinds of Vives ?.
4
28. Pure and untpixed enfoyment, unconnected with any of these, is nowhere to be found. The enjoyment of wearing good garlands, anointing w@gh sandal-paste and eating choice food is said to be connected with them.
29, Therefore, the spring season, the rainy season, the moon-rise, sandal-paste and so on, are sources of delight to those only who enjoy the company of their beloved, but are sources of annoyance to those who are separated from their sweethearts.
30. Those who have thoroughly realized the meaning of the Sastras declare, according to the Agamas, that wealth is the fruit of the tree of virtue. A good man employs it in charity and in self-enjoyment, and the perféct development of these two is a beautiful result.
Here ends the First Chapter of the Book on Hawking, composed by Rudra Deva, the Raji of Kirmacala or Kumaon, entitled ‘‘The Importance of Karma.”

CHAPTER IL.
1. It has been said that there are cighteen addictions, such as rudeness of speech and 80 on. Their names and their good and bad aspects will now be enumerated.
2,3. Their names are :— (1) Rudeness of speech, (2) Severity of punishment, (3) Envy, (4) Disparagement , (5) Rashness,
^
(6) Abuse of money,
(7) Fault-finding (the last two through anger), (8) Anger,
(9) Women,
(10) Gambling, (11) Wine,
(12) Vocal music, (13) Dancing,
(14) Instrumental music,
(15) Strolling,
(16) Back-biting,
(17) Sleeping in the day,
(18) Hunting.
These are the outcome of the desire for earthly enjov- ments,
+. (1) Rudeness of speech means indecent and abu- sive utterances. It is good when inflicting punishment and dispensing justice.
5. (2) Severity of punishment means hard sentences on those who do not deserve them. It becomes tolerable in critical times for the sake of prestige. It should not otherwise be resorted to.
6. (ॐ) Knvy means intolerance of others’ prosperity. It is praiseworthy when it incites to action against rivals orenemies, because inspired by envy, people try to destroy them.
7. (4) Disparagement means be-littling the merits of eothers and attributing demerits to them. It becomes en- joyable in a party when uttered by jesters and others.
8, In dramas, novels and other compositions it Is extensively used, sometimes pithily and sometimes in a verbose and round-about way.
9. (5) Rashness includes any deed in which there is a risk of life. In dangers and difficulties it leads to glory, but on other occasions, it is ridiculous.
10. (6) Abuse of money is (a) want of discrimination in accepting and making gifts; (b) refusal of legitimate gifts ; (c) making gifts to undeserving persons; (2) ruinous
6
charity, and (e) resumption of charities. This should be practised with caution by trusted emissaries in an enemy’s country.
11. (7) Fault-finding is defined as divulgence of other people’s faults. This should be carefully heard from spies: and then the course of action determined after deli- beration within oneself, and the needful done by trusted emissaries.
12, (8) Anger means crookedness and cruelty in meting out punishment, 1t should be resorted to in cases of persistent evil-doers and not of others.
13. (9) Wise men speak of that wife as a wife who has auspicious marks and who knows the fine arts, who is clever, who is loved by herhusband, and who is young and modest.
14. She is the chief instrument in attaining the three objects of life, and she is the distinguishing feature of domestic life. She looks after the children and the uten- sils and other articles of the household, and she charms the mind,
15. In ancient times, in reply to a question put by Agastya, the god Kumara said that where the husband and wife are devoted to each other, there the three objects of life flourish.
16. Wealth is obtained by virtue ; from wealth ema- nate desires, and the fulfilment of all desires can be obtained by means of a good wife alone and of nobody else. Therefore, a loving wife is the best fruit of the tree of virtue.
17. “Therefore one should by all means try to keep her in good humour by giving up wilfulness in matters relating to carnality.
18. ` The love which a devoted husband and wife bear to cach other is known to themselves alone and cannot be expressed to others. Love is in reality physical touching.
19. In the compositions of Gunadhya, Vyasa and
7
Valmiki, each of which thay be epmpared to a sea full of pearls, this matter has been expatiated upon, both in the case of union and in the case of separation.
20. (10) Gambling is laying a wager in playing with animate or inanimate objects. If well managed it leads to the increase of wealth and desires.
21. (11) Wine is that drinking by which people get intoxicated. It is often highly recommended by physicians in incurable distempers.
22. (12) Vocal music consists of songs by charming voices sung with time and tune in harmony accompanied by dances. Experts only appreciate it. ` 2, Sung on proper occasions it leads to the attain- ment of the four objects of life. It is patent -to all how it leads to the attainment of wealth and desires.
24. Bharata, Yajfiavalkya, Narada and others speak of the attainment of virtue and liberation, by vocal music. If an expert songster fails to attain the highest bliss by his songs, he at least becomes a follower of Rudra and enjoys delight in his company.
25. (13) Dancing is of two kinds—the wild, called Tandava, and the theatrical, called Lasya. It is accom- panied with char7 or amorous gait and Jaya or keeping time.
26. (14) In works on music, instrumental music 18 said to be of four kinds, such as data or stringed instru- ments, and so forth. The object of dancing and instru- mental music is the same as that of vocal music.
27, (15) Roaming in cities and gardens without any definite object is called strolling. It is praiseworthy as it mitigates ennul
28. (16) Back-biting is evident, It tends to trickery.
29. (17) Sleep by day in all seasons of the year requires no explanation. It is beneficial to children and to persons suffering from dysentery or any wasting disease or from indigestion. :
8
30. These are the seventeen ‘addictions,’ and hunting is the eighteenth. Their good and bad aspects have thus been described by Bhisma to Yudhisthira :—
31. °°O, most liberal in charity, you should give up all sorts of ‘ addictions,’ not that you should not practise them at all, but you should not be given up to them.”’
32. Thus, after due deliberation of their usefulness or otherwise, each on its own respective merits, they are to be practised within proper bounds for the delight of the world, but too much addiction to them must be avoided.
Here ends the Second Chapter ‘‘ On the Desirability or otherwise of ^ Vyasanas’”’ in the Book of Hawking, hy Rudra Deva.

CHAPTER. III.
Now will be given a brief but complete account of Mrgay or hunting. Though one art, it has infinite varie- ties, eight of which only are going to be described here.
2. The killing of any animal by whatever means, either for the sake of its flesh or for mere pleasure, Is called Mrgaya or hunting.
3. The killing of animals leads to a series of sins. Sacrificial animals are said to be fourteen in number. Some are domestic, others wild.
4. The slaughter of these animals, if not sprinkled aver with water for sacrificial purposes, is a sin. On this subject Dvaipayana uttered the following élokas in ancient times :—
5. ` [7] the interlocution between Pandu and Kindama on the topic of the slaughter of animals—
‘The operations of kings for killing animals are said to be the same as those for killing, enemies. |
4
9
6. ‘O, 1110 ८ do nots through*ignorance, blame me.’ The slaughter of animals may be made with ‘or without stratagem.
7. The sage Agastya, while engaged in a sacrifice, practised hunting in a thick forest, sprinkling with water wild animals and making them sacred to all the gods.
8. Because Agastya sprinkled with water all the beasts of the forest, therefore hunting is no slaughter. In sacrifices, the sprinkling with water of domestic animals, according to prescribed rules, is praiseworthy.
9. Because Agastya sprinkled them with water, the slaughter of wild animals is also praiseworthy. There are reliable records about kings engaging in hunting.
10. If you say it is meaningless to hold that there is pleasure in hunting where on the contrary there is a good deal of fatigue owing to hard exercise and physical pain, my answer 18 :—
11. Just as forcible kissing and embracing an casily offended girl involves indee@ some pain and trouble, but is not without its delight.
122. Just as again in the warfare of love, the scratches by the nails and biting by the tecth is an injury, yet, it leads to pleasure and not to pain, so is the case with hunting.
13. Thus the definition of hunting given above stands. Now will be given an account of its eight subdivisions.
14. Just as a damsel is, like the body of Siva, capable of exciting the eight emotions in her eight different aspects, so hunting has eight aspects :—
* 15, 16. (1 Hunting on horseback, (2) by means of snares and nets, (3) by artifice, (4) by the motion of stand- ing corn, (5) by lying in wait, (6) by a close inspection of footprints, (7) by means of dogs, and (8) by means of hawks. These will be treated one by one. Their defini- tions and the procedure are given below.
10
17, (1) Hunting on horseback leads to intense delight. In this kind, running ‘animals are killed with arrows and with the help of horses.
18. The ground should be without mud and without stones, without trees, and without pits, the appropriate time being from the middle of the cold season to the middle of Jyaistha.
19, 20, 21. The practice of hunting on horseback reduces fat, lightens the body, enhances strength and ambition, hardens the muscles, kindles appetite, produces a capacity for enduring hunger, thirst, heat, cold, fatigue, and keeping awake at night, generates a skill in aiming at moving objects, increases energy, and produces a faculty of knowing the movements and minds of animals. These and many such excellences are acquired by it for one’s own benefit.
22, 23. It leads to the acquisition of religious merit, by killing ferocious animals such as wolves and tigers, by the protection of standing crop, by the slaughter of stags and other animals, by an inspection of the forest, which serves so many useful purposes, by frightening the thieves, and by conciliating forest tribes.
24, 25. It leads to the acquisition of wealth by the capture of wild elephants and rhinoceros, by collecting horns and hides, musk and precious stones, feathers and such like things. By the eating of the wholesome meat of wild boars and buffaloes bagged in hunting, sexual desire and capacity are increased, which leads to the enjoy- ment of women by the increase of strength.
26, 27, 28. The very life and soul of sexual enjey- ment are pride, the self-importance, and pleasure. There- fore for one fatigued with hunting are prescribed, the plaster of sandal paste and other things, the shampooing by the leaf-like soft hands of women, syrups, the five elixirs of life, and fanning with palm-leaves. The sentiment of
11
self-importance makes the eajoyment*of women all the more pleasant after hunting.
29, 30, 31, 32. In the matter of the intensity of pleasure no distinction is found between hunting and the enjoyment of women. The Sdstrakaras, however, have shown this minute difference, that in the enjoyment of women pleasure grows less with repetition (which appar- ently is not the case with hunting). Their causes and effects are equal in respect to the keenness of enjoyment. afforded both in union and in separation (in the case of hunting, in success and in failure), Of these, in respect to women much has been said in dramas and in rhetoric, and also in works on Erotics. Therefore it will not be treated of here. But something should be said in brief about hunting, for the diffusion of its knowledge.
33, 34, 35. The capture of birds from atar by means of hawks, and the sudden hitting by the arrows of bowmen, of moving and stationary objects, produce intense jov, which finds expression in tears, in the hair standing on the end, and in the choking of the voice. Tf unsuccessful the disappointment is great and it leads to needless appre- hension of evil recollections of the past, a change of com- plexion and lamentation. These and other things happen therefore equally both in hunting and in the love of women Therefore hunting, too, is desirable for the attainment. of the three objects of life.
36, 37, 38. In an open space, with followers spread down-wind and acting in concert, the hunting of animals proves an easy success.
* Five or six horsemen are quite enough for hunting rhinoceros. The horses should be quiet and well-trained in their motion. A horseman should strike the rhinoceros with small darts in quick succession on tlie back.
39, 40. Ifit turns back, then the horseman relying on the dexterity of his hdrsg should at once run in its front ;
12
others should hit it frdm behind or skilled archers should pierce it with arrows on the sides.
41. With tleet horses, expert bowmen hit an infuriated lion, sometimes in an open field and sometimes from am- bushes, and kill it like a cat.
42, 43. (2) That is called hunting by snares in which animals are killed by tricking, and in which men capture fish, conches, otters, and oysters. Infinite are the means resorted to in this sort of hunting. It is used by low people, by the Nisdédas and others.
44, But it is useful in the capturing of elephants, etc. Therefore kings should also have recourse to it as it is exceedingly profitable. त
45. Practising stratagems in this is not at all to be blamed. For it has the sanction of Valmiki, who described the killing of Bali by such stratagem in battle :—
46. ‘ Men capture many animals by means of various kinds of nets, traps, and nooses, or by keeping themselves concealed in a hidden place. Experts in the art of hunting also pierce with arrows animals coming towards them.”’
47, When, on account of their training, deer capture deer, and birds capture birds, that is also included under this head (Sajali).
48, (3) Hunting by stratagem is that in which suc- cess is attained by many, some standing in front, some behind, acting in concert, although standing apart. This is of four kinds :—
49, (a) Bahukarmka is that in which deer are hunted by the jhurling of a trident or a similar weapon by two or three persons standing to the windward and shouting" at the top of their voices.
50. ` (b) Malalagnika “is that in which animals are deceived and killed by many people standing under cover of trees and gradually coming close to each other behind them.
1B
61, 52. (c) Mahakalya is that ain which a large num- ber of men encircle a forest and then coming in closer circles ultimately stop the flight of animals of various kinds and kill them by swords and other weapons indis. criminately in all possible ways. This can be ‘ played’ by kings and noblemen only.
58. (d) Gajakalya is that in which elephants are captured by horsemen, by cornering them in shallow pools. half dried in summer.
54. Hunters engaged in all these four kinds of hunting by stratagem should be experts with bows and arrows and in deceit. Otherwise it is mere waste of energy and dan- serous to their followers.
55, 56, 57. (4) Hunting by watching the motion of standing crops is that in which animals are killed by the indication of the motion of wheat and other standing crops in which they hide themselves. [n Sanskrit it is named Yavasi. This is ‘ played’ by two or three horsemen who are expert archers. [6 is successful, if the advance is slow and the motion of standing crops carefully observed. 1४ doesn’t produce much fatigue, but it produces great ex- citement,
58, 59. (5) Hunting by lying in wait is that in which a bowman singly or jointly with others awaits the approach
of animals and then pierces them with poisoned darts. [1 succeeds where there are trees of the Belertc myrobalan, in corn fields, and in places for drinking water, An easy suc- cess in killing lions and other ferocious animals is achieved by placing the carcass of a cow in a suitable position.
° 60. (6) Hunting by the observation of footprints is that in which animals are tracked by their footprints and killed. It is of two kinds :—
61. (a) Hunting by the observation of the footprints of dogs is that in which dogs are employed to search the prey ; and after mucli trouble it is killed in its den.
14
62. (6) Pirvasadiita or that in which the bowman himself searches out the prey with care and with various devices and then kills it, either sleeping or when it has just risen from sleep.
63, These two kinds of hunting succeed greatly in sandy deserts or in marshy lands in the rainy season and in others with the greatest trouble.
64. (7) Hunting by packs of dogs is that in which dogs are let loose at hares and other animals in arid tracts.
65. In this success or otherwise depends upon the jumping of the hares.and their falling into the dogs’ mouths. By their jumps and rebounds they produce abundance of laughter. “
66. The hares scream loudly and the dogs pursue them; and in a short time there is a great fight tooth and nail. This produces a feeling of the terrible.
67. From an open space experts in unfastening ties, let loose their dogs on the prey twice or thrice and success follows. :
68. The sudden and skilful throwmg of arrows is rather praiseworthy in this sort of hunting and nowhere else. For the arrows hit the prey without hitting the dogs that are upon it.
69. Clubs properly so-called, too, should be thrown on hares and other animals, thus this kind of hunting is a source of intense delight.
70. This has a subdivision named Rajvdémoka, which is employed in capturing antelopes and deer, and in which the string (/asso ’) is cast. with skill.
71. (8) Syenapata or hawking is that kind of ‘ in- tensely delightful hunting in which hawks cast in two different ways by experts, fall upon various kinds of birds.
72, Why hawking is hunting? Is it following the hent of the birds’ inclination or that of others? If you
15
ry e e t t Py ह्न > f : ; gay it is according to the inclination of the wild hirds themselves, in that case the term mrgayt or hunting would be meaningless.
73. If you say the termis applicable, as the hare-hawk captures animals, then why not apply it in the case of lions and others catching their prey 2
74. Hunting is described as a repeated search after animals for various objects. This is not found in inferior animals. ।
75. Because they kill for meat alone, enough only to fill their own belly; they have no other purpose in killing.
* 76. The object of hunting is not meat alone, but from it one acquires pearls, skins, and musks,
77. Even elephants are captured ; animals therefore are sought for, for a variety of purposes, and so it is called hunting.
78. Therefore the casting of hawks by men is to be described here. Hence this’ eighth kind—haw king—is in- cluded in hunting.
79. It has evidently eight divisions and many sub- divisions. They do not all afford one and the same kind of pleasure. But different kinds of delight are produced by different methods. ।
Here ends the Third Chapter entitled ` ' Description of Hunting ” in the work on the Art of Hunting composed by Rudra Deva.

CHAPTER IV.
1. This sort of hunting is to ‘be practised in various ways, namely, by inspiring the hawks with confidence, by observing their characteristics and by practising the differ- ent ways of throwing or casting them.
16
23. The casting is of two kinds—Hastumoka and
Mustimoka. Hastamoka is that in which the jesses of the
hawk are held by the fingers and the hawk is cast at the
quarry, ‘This is the only method in the case of Kuhis,
(Shahin), and one of the best in the case of the Basa (Sparrow-hawk).
4 ln Mushimoka a hawk is thrown by grasping it in the palm of the hand, the hawk’s feathers being protected hy a piece of cloth, taking care that the hawk’s flight is not impeded by the cloth.
5. These two kinds of casting are to be practised according to the distance of the quarry. The casting should be ‘clean,’ quick and easy, so that the attack my he a surprise.
6,7. Now we will treat of how to inspire the hawks with confidence. An expert will close the eyes by sew- ing (t.e., seeling) them so that the hawk may not see his face for five days, nor should it hear the trainer’s voice during this period. ४
8, 9, 10. Then every night, in the dim light of lamps, the eyes should be opened, and washed with cool and fair water. ‘The hawk should be gradually inspired with confidence and made to hear the falconer’s voice. Thus gradually by touching it with the hand, by rousing it with soft words, by giving it water and meat at regular inter- vals, by petting it, by protecting it from heat and cold, and hy degrees opening the cyes, it should be tamed carefully.
11, 12, 13. Whether it is ‘manned’ or not is to be known «by its actions. When it stands on onc leg with the eyes closed, when it preens or ‘ reforms’ its feathers, when it ‘mantles’ with its wings, or looks with a gentle eye at its master, ther it is known to be ‘manned,’ other- wise not. When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance to a piece of meat from increasing distances.
14
14, 15. The distance 3s to be increased gradually, and the hawk should be lured twice or thrice. If on being lured, it does not hesitate, nor fly in a curve, and does not ‘carry ’ its meat, then it should be lured without the cre- ance. The next step is to cast it into a tree and then lureit.
16. At this time, in order to recall to its mind its wild habits, it should be allowed to prey upon pigeons and
kalawinkas.
17, Those who cannot be tamed in this way should be carefully subjugated to the will of their master, by much ‘watching,’ by continually stroking them with the hand, and by drawing them nearer and nearer.
"18, There are different ways of taming them according to the species to which they belong. Therefore an enu- meration of the species is given below.
19. There are two distinctly separate divisions, namely, ‘black-eyed’ and ‘ yellow-eyed.’ ‘The subdivisions of these are many.
20, 21. The names of'the various species of the two principal divisions are :—(1) Kihi,! (2) Sasada,* (3) Caraka,® (4) Vahari,* (5) Lagaru,° (6) Paksakalika,’ and (7) Turumuti.” The tiercels also have the same divisions. This completes the species of the 4 black-eyed.’
22, This class can be tamed by much ‘ watching.’
*1† eats flesh and drinks water. If it bites the faleoner’s hand, stones are to be presented to it. -
1 Kihi, the Shahin falcon Saéada, apparently the ‘hare-hawk.’ Later this is said to be
idvntical with Vaja which is obviously Vaz the (female) goshawk.
५ Carakh, Caragh, ete. The Suker falcon.
+ Vahri, the Peregrine.
‘3 Lagara, the Lugger Falcon.
8 Paksakalika, lit., with short wings, not identified.
1 Turumuti is the name given to both the common Merlin and the Red-headed Merlin. The puthor seemingly restricts the term to the former, ; ॥
18
23 Their feignel or apparent confidence can easily be acquired, but to gain their real confidence is difficult , therefore great care should be taken in their train- ing.
24. In calling the hawk, either its wings should be tied or it should be covered with cloth.' When it comes it should be rewarded by food, so that it may not be disap- pointed.
25. Troublesome birds are to be subdued to the will of the tamer by harsh reprimand, corporeal punishment,’ and by small rewards,
26. If highly fed, they grow naughty ; if starved, they do not grow attached or strong. Birds of this clas are like low people.
27. Like servants they become serviceable if their expectations are raised, and if they are rewarded according to their deserts.
28. This class is quick to hear a distant call, to fall on distant prey and capture big’ quarry. The second class will now be treated of.
29. As Patra, Vaja and Chada are synonymous words, all birds have a common name Vaja.
30, 31. Just as, though Asvathama, Karna, Bhisma, Partha and Rukmi could all draw the bow with their left hand, Partha alone was called ‘ the drawer of the bow, with the left hand’ for his pre-eminence, so, though all birds are Vaja* (winged), the hawks specially are called
Vaja.
1 Apparently the author means that in early training, when making the hawk jump to the fist, it should be confined in a sock or elso have its flight-feathers tied as Indians tie the feathers of pigeons
१ Presumably ‘rough treatment.’ Some falconers treat unruly charayhs with great severity.
8 2/८ seems to be derived from Vaja ‘ a wing ’ and not from baz a goshawk,
19
32. Vaja, Vasa, Vesqra, ५५११५, Jira, (९८, Dati! and Tuna,’ as well as their males, form the second class.
33. Of the two classes, the females are more impor- tant in respect of their make, courage, value and their style of flying. Vaja and others being pre-eminent are spoken of in the masculine,
34, 35. The Vajas are of five kinds. Their descrip- tions are given separately.
The class called Balaka is slender in its make, with white and black feathers (?) on the breast and on the thighs. It is easily tamed.
* That which is shaped like cakravaka or the Brahminy duck is called the cakraviga.
36. Kdlaka is that class which is long and black like the kavika or water-hen. It is very difficult to tame, and once tamed it becomes wild again.
37. That which is snow-white all over the body is Hamesavaja. Blessed is the’ house where it is treated with respect.
38. It should be carefully tended. It should not be ordinarily used in hunting. Its very touch cures many fevers, specially the quartan.
39, 40. Maharavana, the king of Vajas, is that in
+ whose tail and feathers are to be found marks like the 4214100 or pipal leaf. Only one who has heaped up much religious merit becomes the possessor of such a pleasure- giving bird. It is called Mahéravana because it makes other birds cry in fear on its approach.
` 4. There are four kinds of Vasa. namely, Auraii- ८१1८, Dhavana, Pratisthana and Sikara.
1 Dhiti or Dhoti 18 a name given to both the female of the Indian Hobby and to the male of the Besra, sparrow-hawk.
2 Tuné not identified. For the names of the different kinds of hawks, see Phillott’s Voceb. Tech. Fal. Terms.
20
42. Aurarigands re of various kinds, varying in colours and in their courage and strength.
43. The 716४0106 are spare in body and delicate in make, but are swift in flight. The Pratisthanis are thickly feathered and inferior in speed and courage.
44. They are not subject to disease and are compact of muscle, They come from the country abounding in hawks. In their colour they are whitish, blackish and reddish.
45, The Sikara is docile, swift, fierce and courageous. The beauty of its make anoints the eves of the spectator, as it were with drops of nectar.
46. [t is only by great religious merit that trainetl and expert Sikaras are obtained. They should not be annoyed with long watching and hard work: they should be treated gently.
47. For the delight of the mind, these should be em- ployed when they are in high condition. The Vesaras are of three kinds, Their names are given below.
48, The stout kind is the worst; it is named 1161 ka. The medium class is called Cilikaiika. The best class is like the Vasa both in the thickness of its plumage and in its courage.
49. The 81८40005 are of various kinds, both in make and behaviour. As they are found in various countries, , their characteristics vary with their native country.
50, The males of all the classes are known by certain signs. These are of various kinds but for brevity’s sake are not mentioned here.
51. Of these birds, if the head is like the hood of a snake, and if the neck is long, the wings wide and the chest broad, it is the best of its kind,
52,53. The following are the good points common to all these birds, namely, the ‘ stalke’ should be short, round, thick and strong, the feet should have long fingers,
pA
well-set in their joints and with fierée nails. Their whole make should be like the Svastika mark (+),
54. {८8८ becomes admired, if its voice is pleasing. The Vaja is good, if it is silent. Kuhi is good, if its throat and the ‘ ends of its ears’ are silvery.
55. Hawks, like good ministers of state, can bring about desired effects, if they are kept contented by proper treatment, and are given good nourishment.
56. As an expert in the art of government, and nobody else, knows the uncommon intelligence of the king, so does a bird understand the intelligence and expert- ness of its tamer.
* 57,61. To restore peace to a conquered country, to deliberate on conquering others, to bring the wicked under subjugation by diplomacy, to protect the loyal, to encourage those who have done great deeds by ful- filling their aspirations, to please and protect the people and to test their loyalty or otherwise by keen observation, to take into, and inspire them with confidence or to dis- trust them, as the case may be, to know their mind by the movement of their eyes and their actions, to possess the knowledge of what is practicable and of the means to achieve it, to discern what is easily attainable and what is not, to employ proper persons for proper works and dissuade them from doing what is improper, and such other qualities, which have been highly spoken of in_poli- tics [are considered also essential in the art of hawking].
61. The emotions which are developed in dramas and other compositions are also to be found by sages in hawking in their proper time and place.
62. Let those to whom hunting is an agreeable enter- tainment, study the art of hawking, composed in brief, and with arguments easy to be understood by all classes of men, high or low, because its practice affords a deep and varied delight. —

CHAPTER V.
1. Now will be described the quantity of their food, the way of tending them at different seasons, their dis- eases and their cure.
2. Twenty-five ‘wikas of fresh Hesh is quite enough for a Kuhi, Caraka, Véja, and Vahari. The Sasddas should not be given less, for they are incapable of fasting.
3. This statement refers to the species without any reference to their work. For the males, the quantity should be less by five (4714८.
4, 5. The Paksakakaliki should have still less by five. Visas should have two less than the above; but pure Vesuras should have two les¥even than that. The same for Citlaikas.
6. The quantity for 6144045 should be determined according to their strength.
7. The Turumutis should have nine farikas. (९८४. Tong and Dhitik’ should have the same quantity less by one, two, and three respectively, but they should be fed twice. |
४. 9. Asan unpaid servant, engaged on board, ought to he given a sufficient quantity of food and that at the expected time, the expiry of which tires out his patience, so the feeding-time of these birds should never be exceedéd, nor should there be any variation in the quantity of their food, either of which things will produce bad results.
10, 16. This quantity is prescribed for birds engaged in hawking. But when they moult, in the beginning of Jyaistha, the quantity should be, different. In summer,
23
when the air is heated by the terribie rays of the meridian sun, the bare trees cannot’ afford ‘shelter ; stormy winds surcharged with dust blow on all sides; when the river water flows, boiling as it were, the earth’s surface becomes hardly touchable on account of the heated dust; when the animals in this plight forget their natural animosity against each other, lose all their energy, and seem to be under the influence of fever; when birds cry out piteously, then the season, like the forest fire, becomes intolerable to these birds [7.e., hawks], who are accustomed to the valleys of the Himalayas, on which fine slabs of stone lie scattered. cleanly washed by the waterfalls and overgrown with young shoots of emerald-green grass, and where the breezes blow fragrant with the exudation of the pine-trees. Therefore cooling processes should be now resorted to.
17,18. Hawks should be kept tied in a quiet place on the top of a lofty building, beautifully whitewashed and cooled with sprays of water by means of machines ; fans should be moved gently and at intervals, by men placed at a distance ; and the place should be kept free from flies by means of netted windows.
19—21. Or they should be kept on a platform in a garden, well-guarded by porters and cooled with the water from artificial streams shaded with tall trees standing close to each other, where the fierce rays of the sun cannot penetrate. Or they should be kept in an underground room free from mosquitos, perfumed by khaskhas emitting a sweet odour, when sprinkled with water, and round the room green barley should be planted to give it a pleasant aspect.
22, 23. If they are to be kept in a cellar, it should be spacious, well-ventilated, sweet-smelling and pleasant to live in. Many should not be kept in one place. They should be kept in groups of two or three.
24, 25, 26. Coot water should he given to them now
24
and again; they shold be given the Hesh of Aalavinka and of Vaja' not kept for a long time, and such other light and tasteful food as they can digest. By degrees the quan- tities should be increased for their health. Pans full of water should be kept before them for bathing. If they cast their gorge, then the medicine is, powdered methi (Trigonella foenugrecum) with buffalo-butter.
27, 28. If they cannot properly digest their food, then fresh meat is to be given, steeped in wine and cam- phor-water. For the cure of indigestion, powdered mark- ing-nut is to be administered, or the same mixed with the juice of hemp, after which a little warm water is to be given.
29—31. Care should be taken that they are not annoyed, Judicious care is always productive of the desired effect. I[f they become thin, they should be given meat mixed with cither goat’s milk? or cow-butter ; or to sharpen appetite the meat may be mixed either with cloves or with human urine. In this way their appetite should be increased, and they should be kept in health by gradually increasing the quantity of their food, and by cooling pro- cesses,
32—-35. In the rainy season when the clouds thunder, when the sky is lighted up with the flash of lightning, when the fragrance of the Malati flower delights all creatures. when the frogs croak and the peacocks dance wildly, when. the breeze surcharged with the fragrance of the Kadamba lowers blows in every direction, when the river-water becomes dirty with the washings by the rain, when the crickets fill the whole space with their noise, these birds should be tended in such a way that regaining their vigour they may cast off their old feathers and assume new ones just as snakes assume a new slough.
1 Vaja, an obvious error in the text. 9 From the Commentary it is possible'that this means human milk.
25
36—52, If there is any delay in casting off feathers some think that the flesh of a lizard hastens the casting of feathers. The Mleccha nations administer a black sub- stance within the meat of cows and buffaloes, but this is not proper owing to the repulsive nature of the thing and from the fact that it lessens the hawk’s swiftness. If parasites eat off the feathers, the remedy is equal quan- tities of vidmiga, marking nut, and musk; or, in the case of fat birds two ratis of rock-salt with meat for three days, but for lean birds only half a rati of rock-salt. To those who are well-versed in the art of hawking, well-trained birds give great delight. Now, to the misfortune of men, diseases prevail among the birds for spoiling men’s enjoy- ment; therefore these diseases are enumerated and their respective remedies prescribed. Four diseases relate to the irregularity of breath. The common name of these diseases is Sdkhd, one of which is caused by some sort of hurt or shock to the lungs, another by the morbid condi- tion of the phlegm, the third by that of the bile, the fourth by a general waste of the system. The last named is called Sosité and is very difficult to cure. Birds suffering from Sdkhaé should be kept in a dark, lonely place, and given small quantities of meat and water. [f the disease is caused by hurt, meat is to be given with ,¢gum-myrrh, even though there is pain in the limbs. The body is to be besmeared with turmeric and it should be sprinkled over with stale' water. If the disease is the effect of the morbid condition of the phlegm, powdered pepper is to be first administered as a snuff, and then meat mixed with the powdered bark of Morunga quilandina, is to be given. The drink should be warm water; musk may also be given to cure its symptoms. If it is produced by the derangement of the bile, a pill made of camphor, cloves
gener
1 Stale water probably means water kept in a porous earthen vessel and not ‘ well-warm ’ water. *
26
khaskhas root, sandal peste, angiilesh, is to be given discrim- inately before a meal, and after that, quail’s flesh in small quantities: water should be given. If the disease is caused by a general wasting of the system, it is said to he difficult to cure. Still some medicine is suggested. For, if the run of life is not already at its end, curative pro- cesses well-applied may become efficacious. The proper thing to do is to administer the meat of Kalavinka steeped in human blood, or the fresh meat of a hen sparrow; or, the flesh of hogs may also be given in small quantities according to the strength of the bird; or, the flesh of birds mixed with cow-butter. Warm-water is to be given with discretion, and, after that, water mixed with camphor, from time to time.
53—58. The cure of all sorts of Sakha is said to be mimiyt. For big birds with black eyes, three ratis is the dose, for slender birds half the quantity; for big birds with re: eyes, the dose is two ratis, and for slender ones only one rati, The patients are to be given meat mixed with goat's milk and the juice of hemp. Their eyes are to be anointed every day with cumin secds chewed with the teeth. The treatment should be continued for three successive weeks. For twenty-one days the patients are to be given meat and the powder of long pepper, turmeric, gum-myrrh, mimayi, patalé and svarji, passed through a piece of cloth. and mixed with goat’s milk. [or the first seven days all birds suffering from Sakhd should be given meat and the powder of the bark of the root of Morunga guilandina mixed up with'the milk of Calotropis gigantea
59, 60, 61, 62. If a white spot forms on the eyes owing to heat, smoke or some kind of hurt, then the eyes are to be filled with the fine powder of the root of Oxalis monadelpha. A hawk gets rid of this disease in eighteen days. Or a pill made of the following drugs in equal quantities, soaked in goat’s urine and dried in the
21
shade, may be given ; tusmeric, faves of nim, pepper, yellow myrobalan, long pepper, Cyperus rotindus, and ४५५०११८. It should be administered with honey and goat’s milk in the case of the red kind of birds. This pill des- troys the spot, as if the pill had been made by Rudra.
63—66. Inflammation is produced in the face or in the eyes owing to irregularity in food or drink, or to bile;’ when the swelling suppurates the case becomes hard to deal with. If the disease is caused by the excess of phlegm, it becomes difficult to cure. In the former case (if produced by bile), the powder of the bark of the moon plant mixed with sessamum oil is to be given with meat: this may also be plastered over the affected part. If it is the effect of the distemper of the phlegm, two muscles are to be pierced with a heated iron needle. In the case of suppuration of the mouth, meat mixed with human urine is the best cure. The mouth may also be washed with human urine.
67—71. Gardabhi is the name of inilammation of the Jegs accompanied by boils, caused by tight tying [in a ‘sock’], fear, or frequent flight. If long neglected, the same disease is called Candi. To cure Gardabhi the legs hould be plastered over daily for seven days, with the exudation of the common fig tree and of Fiscus religiosa . 07, it can be cured by plastering them over with black salt. Even Cand: is likely to be cured by the use, for twelve days, of a plaster over it, made of turmeric and rock salt mixed with butter, after a leech has been applied. The leech is to be applied on the affected: part, which should then be covered with a bandage, which should be renewed every third day. ;
7276. If a hawk is found to be losing strength and colour owing to any hurt, the following medicine is to be applied with care. Two kinds of turmeric, blue vitriol, Siphonanthus Indica, Vanguerta spinosa, exudation of
28
Calotrophis gigantea—these are to be mixed up in equal quantities‘and should be administered with meat for three weeks, the dose being varied according to circumstances. From eating putrified, stale and indigestible meat, various sorts of worms are often found to grow in the stomach of hawks. For their destruction, two parts of vidatiga and one part of musk are to be mixed and administered with care and discretion. ।
77, 78. If a hawk does not bathe through fear, and lice with their eggs thrive in its body, to radically destroy them, a powder of long pepper should be scattered over, or the bark of the root of Bel pounded with cow’s urine should be plastered over its body. There is no doubt that this destroys lice with their eggs.
79. By the proper administration of these efficacious medicines the hawks become healthy and strong. Thus, being freed from diseases, they are trained for the purpose of hunting.
Here is the end of the Fifth Chapter on `" The Treat- ment of Diseases,’’ in the Art of Hawking composed by Rudra Deva.
CHAPTER VI.
1—8, Finding the birds healthy and well-developed by the use of the tonic medicines mentioned above, and when they look beautiful with their fresh-grown feathers and handsome with their wings which shine like sapphire, when they look charming with feathers on their breast looking like pearls, when they look like snakes which have just cast off their old sloughs, when with their feet fastened with silken jesses they assume variegated colours from the rays of the jewels in their golden necklaces,! and

9 their leg Tings resound with small bells, and when कु (2 attached to their tamer by the ee spoken ne previously , their owner should then call ४ om on auspicious day. An expert tamer of these birds should teach them how to fall upon a quarry, fastened by a string, and thus revive their old instincts. Those hawks, which have been taken from the nests, should be first tamed by being kept tied after their capture, and as they arc unpractised in hunting, they should be taught in a variety of ways by an expert trainer of birds, by gradually increas ing their skill afd cleverness. Hawks like good stu- dents are apt to receive readily any training. Well-trained hawks are like great men capable of great achievements. There is nothing impracticable for them, nor is there any- thing worth attempting which they cannot perform.
9—30. Young men wearing polished ear-rings, nicely dressed in good clothes, well versed in the art of hawking, should carry the hawks in their hands every day in different ways. When they are found to be well- trained, the king himself should come out on a day aus- picious for hunting to see the sport. The arrangements should be made thus: From the very first watch of the night until the morning. clouds of autumn surround the sun, a large number of soldiers should be posted far and wide on all sides to guard against intrusion of other people, while: the king himself, surrrounded by a few distinguished and faithful champions, should ride on a good horse of excellent gait and speed, with flowing bridles, and trotting in harmony with the music of drums; and, accompanied by a large number of hawkers, proceeds to a shady place in a mountain in proper time and with great watchfulness ; or he should start, when one quarter of the day still remains, leaving the autumn sun behind him, but he should never proceed too far from his capital. If the sport is held in a valley, then foot soldiers are to be placed
30
on all sides to guatde the cages and passes. Remaining concealed in the immediate neighbourhood, they should see where the birds settle after their flight. In plains, horsemen should go, in undulated lands foot soldiers, and on the tops of hills, dogs should search for the game. At the middle of the party there should be the leading hawker, with two soldiers on each side. The circle should be made with twenty-one horsemen. All men in the circle, with their eyes fixed on the chief hawker, should remain at a distance of four cubits from each other, in two equal divisions on cach side. The hawker should throw the hawk from the east towards the north- east, so that there may be no inconvenience in seeing the quarry. One who has many hawks and many horse- men should make many circles, separated from each other. The hawker who stands at the middle of the circle in which the king is, should not, without his order, throw the hawk, even thongh the quarry may be very near. This is a rule of propriety which should never be broken. In each circle there should be one Vahari, one Kuhi, three Vujas and five or six (कद, = The manner ot throwing has been explained above. There should be a distance of one mile from one circle to another, otherwise there is fear of Vasis getting mixed up with Kuhis. For the purpose of frightening wild hares and other game, swords should be unsheathed and spears held up on all sides. On all sides of the chief hawker. trained servants, knowing the proper time, should hold many birds. At the time of the search, the circle should move slowly along, and after the fall of the bird still slower. Those who proceed in front of the horsemen, with canes ine their hands, should throw, by Mestimoka, Dhiitis and 10105 against quails and other quarry. Their motion, on account of their swiftness, can- not be perceived. They add to the enjoyment of the spectators by darting obliquely (?) on the quarry, which is
1
discovered by the noise, नदन्त they make when they are captured
31—34, Lf the king, delighted with the pleasure of this, wants to have the sport alone, he should collect a large number of expert cane-holders. These, brandishing their canes on all sides, should make the Lavas' and other slow- moving quarry risc, and bring them within range (of the hawk). If the bird once falling does not rise again, then it should be searched out by a dog, tied with a string, and should not be flown atagain. ‘They should also cheer up the king by crying out, ‘‘ the king should look out, the bird is just rising,’’ and such like encouraging words.
35—38. Saras Cranes and Comnon Cranes attached by a Kuhi excite a fierce emotion, for they are like winged mountains pursuing each other. Falling on the ground, they strike each other with their talons and make a fierce noise ; then changing their position, they strike each other with their beaks in a terrible fight. When a Vahari is thrown at a stork or a heton from a great distance, it produces a feeling of wonder. Whatcan be more wonderful than the falleof the quarry from the sky like a mountain with clipped wings and frightened by the sound of swift motion ?
39. Caraka, when it seizes a young gazelle and eats its limbs and entrails, produces irresistibly a loathing.
40. Kecuka and other birds, afraid of the swiftness of the wings of Yond and others, hiding themselves motion- less in bushes, produce the emotion of fear
41—44. The Bharadvaja, when pursued by hawks earcfully hiding itself and crying piteously, sometimes in a low and sometimes in a loud voice, excites a feeling of laughter, because they hide themselves through fear,but yet can be traced by their cry. The sportsman, seeking amusement, should shoot pellets at them. The Vay,

falling from a great height on,the quarry and catching it in the right place, by its cleverness in killing its quarry, affords an instance of Vira Rasa (the emotion of heroism).
Attacks are of three kinds, upwards, horizontal and downwards. All three attacks are very enjoyable when the Vajas attack the Varajas.
45—47. Hiding itself like a shadow below the quarry when it is flying above, and then suddenly flying up and striking it like an arrow, is called the upward attack. Hori- zontal attack means pursuing the quarry in sight or out of sight, in the same plane, and striking it like a club. When, through fear, the quarry is flying below, falling down upon it like the thunderbolt, suddenly from above, is called the downward attack. It is a hard feat.
48--54. Thus in the matter of pursuing the quarry and hovering over it in a variety of ways and in inspiring confidence, the Vajas are superior to other birds. They charm the minds of connoisseurs, like wrestlers clasping and throwing, and getting up and falling down. When two birds fly together and one is killed, the survivor mourns pitifully. This excites the emotion of sorrow. In the king, the lover’s emotion is discernible in two con- ditions, that of enjoyment when the quarry is caught, and that of separation when it escapes, At times the hairs stand on end, extreme delight is felt, tears of, joy flow, amazement overcomes, the voice gets choked, anxiety, incoherent talk, change of colour and other symp- toms of Sativa guna (pure emotion) manifest themselves. The enjoyment of hunting is more exquisite than cven the enjoyment of women. For, the pleasures of hunting fascinate and draw away even the husband of the woman whose eyes resemble those of the frightened stags. If the enjoyment were not so exquisite then why should men forsake their mistresses clinging to their neck, and go abroad in cold nights 3 |

55—61. The throwing of Vasge on to birds resembles a sexual embrace, sometimes pushing and’ sometimes pulling. When the quarry is caught and in the struggle its feathers drop from the sky, the feathers look like a shower of flowers from the hands of the delighted Indra. The Sikérds which are thrown at their quarry from a great distance never fail, and deserve the highest praise. Who can describe the swiftness and the unfailing aim of the Sikirds when they take partridges and other birds by twos and threes? In tanks and lakes as previously described the Kuhi and other hawks are to be thrown on waterfowl. Those who know them from beforehand, only they should cast off the Kuht and others. Those birds that have confidence in each other should be cast off together. This has such a charm that poets get bewildered. Drums are to be sounded to make the waterfowl leave the water, so that the hawks may take them out of their element.
62. The emotions which the dramatists have excited at different times and by elaborate processes, may be en- joyed in no *288 a degree at one and the same time by ex- perts, in hunting excursions.

Thus after hawking the fatigued king should take rest in a shady place, fanned by, soft breezes fragrant a the perfume of lotuses. His followers should the:?f all rally , even those who formed the circle. The chief among them should present to the king all that they have bagged in hawking and speak about the achievements ‘of the

hawks, etc., for the ampsement,.of their lord. The lord, too, should’ encourage them with congratulations. After seeing the hawks and horses eat and drink plentifully and causing them to.be tiediiin a shady place, the lord should go to a lonely place and get his limbs shampooed, listening all the while to the charming voice of geese walking about. Then he should hear for a while vocal and instrumental music charming to the heart. After that he should take his bath and anoint his person with sandal, etc. Then, wearing bright apparel and a pearl necklace and garlands of flower, he should repeat his daily prayers. He should then refresh himself with a glass of sherbet of sugar as white as the belly of a goose. When hungry, he should take his food in consultation with his physicians and with an undisturbed mind. A fan made of feathers should be waved before him, and he should he ac- companied with physicians familiar with poisons and their antidotes. The food should be first given to horses and birds for testing it. The food should be brought by experi- enced cooks and consist of roast meats and rice as white as the Kunda (jessamine) flower. He shoulu eat along with his retinue. After chewing pan he should go back to his residence, conversing all the way on a variety of subjects, how the crane attacked the Kuhi, how the haughty quail made its onset on the Dhiti, how it was brought, like a blade of grass, on the ground and killed by the hawk, how the Sikard troubled the partridge, how the throw of such and such a falconer was powerful and quick, how a stupid hawker threw the hawk obliquely aad it could not rise, and how the bird of this man could not fall on the prey well, Conversing in this way they should proceed to their hone,

Nabhaga, Ambariga,* Rama, sthe high-souled, Atle, Prithu, Virasena, Haryasva, Bharata, these’ and others” never ate meat in the waxing moon of autumn, and so they went to heaven. ‘They are residing in the region of Brahma for a whole cycle of Kalpa, surrounded by-women. With the exception of the period of waxing moon, hunting ‘3 allowable in autumn. It is not prohibited in other seasons. This has been shewn therein. Animals are the outcome of Tamas (ignorance), so the high-souled Agastya, for the good of men, consecrated the wild animals to all the gods, by sprinkling water over them. Hunting is to be practised, in autumn with discrimination, in winter at pleasure, and in spring with great energy, by those who are desirous of gaining health and strength. In hunting, all the fine qualities of a Ksatriya are developed, namely, the practice of archery, conduct towards equals, agility of motion, energy of body, cleverness in the management of horses, and the knowledge of the incomparable delight when the policy succeeds.
